Nightmare Fuel / Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This?

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

• Episode #46, "Two Furby Dolls".
• Episode #77 ("Fireworks"). At half-speed, the pyramid's whistle sounds like the scream from Alien as Jon put it.
• Episode #115, "Pikachu Doll".
• Episode #133 ("Spray Paint"). After Whoopi failed to deliver the results they wanted, the guys switched over to a new microwave named Jasmine. Sparks from the ball of tinfoil used to ignite the spray can start spewing out of the bottom, and the fire gets so hot that a hole is burned through Jasmine's door. Both microwaves have died at the end.
• Episode #136 ("Hannah Montana Pen"). One battery explodes inside the microwave with the pen's remnants catching fire. When Jory attempted to smother the flame, its other battery explodes and nearly takes out his hand.
• Episode #167 (the first "Airbag"): The airbag deployed mere moments after Jory took cover. The result was Summer being blown to bits, flinging her door into the driveway and firing shrapnel into the garage door with enough force to shatter the outer layer of glass. Had Jory dawdled at all, he ran the risk of getting injured or killed. In the aftermath, both Jory and Riley are emphatic that microwaving an airbag is not a good idea, the incident resulted in a Reality Subtext Running Gag of "safety is our number one concern" trailing off as they realized they hadn't been taking safety as seriously as they should have been, and the verdict, displayed over footage of Jory and Riley cleaning up the mess resulting from Summer's remains flying into the door, is the unprecedented "Really Bad Idea".
  Jory: (still in shock at his brush with death) And that's it for Is It a Good Idea to Microwave Th- which, no! And I... oh my God, that just fucking happened!
• Episode #256 (the second "Lava Lamp"): After dismissing the explosiveness potential as a myth because of what they did before, the results were different this time. The lava lamp explosion was as loud as a gunshot and sprayed glass all over the wall. The guys were genuinely scared when it blew up, particularly Riley who wasn't around for the first lava lamp experiment. Although the microwave still worked afterwards, this was the second experiment that was given an outcome of "Really Bad Idea".
  • Another YouTube channel, Microwave Me, learned this the hard way. The uploader microwaved a lava lamp and allowed it to cool for 10 minutes after it didn't blow up. When he went to check on the lamp, it exploded and showered him with hot wax and glass shards. Thankfully, he came out fine with just some minor burns.
• Nightmare Retardant: Episode #190, "Tickle-Me Elmo".
• Episode #247 ("Time Machine") and the undeath of Cindy.
